Milaha Maritime commences new Qatar-Oman cargo loops

The Qatar-based shipping and logistics company has launched a service with two loops and five weekly sailings between Qatar and Oman, according to a recent tweet.    Qatar-based shipping and logistic company Milaha Maritime has initiated a new Qatar-Oman cargo service, according to a recent tweet by the company.
   The service, dubbed OQX, runs in two loops with multiple weekly sailings, according to the tweet. Loop 1 sails from Hamad and Mesaieed to Salalah and Sohar twice a week, while Loop 2 sails from Hamad and Mesaieed to Sohar three times a week. Six vessels with unknown capacity levels are utilized on the service.
   Last month, multiple Middle Eastern countries broke diplomatic ties with Qatar due to the country’s relationship with Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood. Major ports in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates discontinued shipments to and from Qatar and stopped accepting bookings for Qatar cargo as well.
   However, a week later, Maersk Line began accepting bookings for Qatar cargo for transshipment via Salalah in Oman.
